Winter 2012 Anime Season: First Impressions

ANO NATSU DE MATTERU
First impressions can be deceiving.  This anime started off pretty mellow with a slice of life feel to it and an un-overwhelming amount of fanservice.  Then, holy shit.  Ichika turns out to be an alien and now the whole anime isn't just about romance anymore.  After the first episode, you get a lot more of her alien background and that adorable pet of hers.  You also get a better feel of Kaito's friends and Remon (far right).  I enjoyed watching Remon's character unfold.  She's so evil, it's good.  She's reminds me of Gokou, Ruri from Oreimo.  She's smart and she definitely knows what she's doing.  I wonder what she puts in that dynamite drink.  I think i'll stick with this anime. So far, it's just been a real pleasure to watch.

This anime gave me the creeps.  In a good way.  The suspense, the mystery, the eerieness!  What a thrill. I am thoroughly enjoying the art and the plot.  Your brain will get a big work out this season just trying to uncover the mystery.  I want to know the truth already!  Let's all make a bet. Whoever's theory proves to be correct, gets a candy :)  And no you cannot read the novels.  I bet that Sakakibara is the one who's been dead all along and died with his mother a while back in some accident or something.  Somehow the Misaki incident has something to do with his mother.  Or, Sakakibara was the one who killed Misaki. Those are about all of my theories so far.  I have some over analyzing to do this season.

Simply hilarious.  It's overwhelming.  You figure it'd be another Kimi to Boku, but turns out you're way off. Its comedy is similar to Kill Me Baby, but this one is worthy of your time.  You couldn't expect any less from three teenage boys in high school.  I recommend you all give this series a go.

INU X BOKU SS
Meh :/  I thought it was going to be all about drama and romance, but no.  I didn't expect the dog ears, or the Kimono, or the tail, I mean tails.  He looked like that Pokemon with nine tails.  What's its name . . nine tails?? Okay, okay.  Maybe the butler secret service agent didn't look that bad. Dog ears suit him.  And when he cried - KYAA!!  You poor pup D:  If she doesn't want you . . i'll take you.  Who am I kidding?  Of course she wants you. You're a stud.  By now, you can kind of tell why I am going to watch this anime, no?

KILL ME BABY
Oh ma gaa . . . the OP was annoying enough.  I don't know.  I was kind of in a lousy mood when I started watching. My mood must have influenced my reaction towards the anime, so I decided to watch it on a good day, but nothing changed.  I still found it pretty annoying.  It was slow paced and there wasn't enough comedy to keep me interested.  I'll either drop it or put in on hold for now.

PAPA NO IUKOTO WO KIKINASAI!
I was looking forward to the comedy here, but it wasn't as silly as I thought.  Of course, there are still 25 episodes left to go and it's still too soon to tell.  I'll watch a few more episodes and decide from there.  I have read other reviews and people are saying that it is very likely to be another Usagi Drop.  I have a good reason to keep on watching then :)

That's all for now.  Don't forget to tell me which anime you will be watching this season!

Winter '11-12 Anime ~ My Top Five, Specials, Etc.

It's that time of year again!!  Time to dwell in the winter season and prepare for the new up and coming anime series!!

Visual Guide and Anime Listing - via moetron.

How exciting!  I've been waiting for the new batch of anime to arrive.  But as exciting as it may be, I can't help but feel overwhelmed by so many series. -_-  Slow down on them deliveries will you? So I narrowed my picks down to five. ^-^

Papa no Iu Koto wo Kikinasai!
Papa no Iu Koto wo Kikinasai!  Is a slapstick comedy - hold it!  SLAPSTICK?!  I gotta see this!  The word slapstick reminds me of Ika Musume and you just gotta love that squid girl!  I just hope it slaps me with enough exaggerated comedy to make me ROFL!!

Kill Me Baby
Kill Me Baby has a strangely familiar character design.  It reminds me of Lucky Star . . . hmm. Which got me thinking it could be as good too.  If not, i'll settle for the awesome weaponry.  It looks like she's about to go Kill Bill on yo a**!  I wonder if they wield huge guns . . .

Inu x Boku SS
Gotta have some romance this winter!  This series looks intense, so I doubt it'll be very innocent. Be forewarned. I have a feeling it will have a Yaoi level of intimacy, not sure.  Whether it will or not is something I am bound to find out. And for those of you who've never seen Yaoi - it's pretty intense!

Another
Scary stuff *gulp.*  I haven't watched mystery in a while or do I dare say it . . . horror!  But, I wouldn't mind getting creeped out every now and then this upcoming season.  Maybe that will keep my mind off the weather.

and Black Rock Shooter
Since the time I watched the OVA, this anime has been on my mind.  The flaming blue eye, the epic action scenes, and let's not forget the big guns!  I am very curious to know how it will turn out.  I believe this is the first anime i'll see, that wasn't based on a manga - or to be more precise, a kick ass Supercell song! I enjoy Supercell's song and hope that they use that song for the OP.  Congrats Miku!  You will open for an epic series!~

Specials and Ova's ~

Usagi Drop Specials
Aw . . who doesn't like Usagi Drop?  The first special was adorable and I am looking forward to specials 6.5 and 8.5. This anime does a great job at portraying a fun and positive view of parenthood.  But even if you're not a parent yourself, I recommend you watch it because I believe it will connect with you in one way or another. Seriously, if you don't watch it you are really missing out. 

K-ON! (Movie)
It looks like the girls are taking a little trip this winter.  I can't wait for the theatrical release!  Too bad it's not being released anywhere near where I am.  Still, i'll wait until the day it hits media everywhere!  I enjoyed the series so much and the music was great.  It has been dearly missed and this release will commemorate my love for K-ON! 

Watch K-ON! movie trailers HERE.


Any thoughts on this up and coming anime season?  What series are on your list?
Happy blogging!
